Properties of culture: - Culture has several properties:
- shared (it is a social phenomenon)
- learned (culture is learned not biologically inherited); how culture is taught & reproduced is also crucial
- symbolic (speech is a symbolic element of human language)
- transmitted cross-generationally (Kroeber 1917 and Leslie White 1949 treat culture as a ‘superorganic entity’.
- adaptive, and integrated.
- From the different definitions it is known that there is much disagreement about the word and concept of culture.
- So, an ongoing negotiation and conversation about what culture should mean is continuing.
